LinkedIn Profile Extract and Build JSON Resume with Bright Data & Google Gemini

Who this is for?

The LinkedIn Profile Extract and JSON Resume Builder is a powerful workflow that scrapes professional profile data from LinkedIn using Bright Data's infrastructure, then transforms that data into a clean, structured JSON resume using Google Gemini. The workflow is ideal for automating resume parsing, candidate profiling, or integrating into recruiting platforms.

This workflow is tailored for:

• HR professionals & recruiters automating resume screening

• Talent acquisition platforms enriching candidate profiles

• Developers & AI builders creating resume-parsing AI pipelines

• Data scientists working on labor market analytics

• Growth hackers profiling prospects via public data

What problem is this workflow solving?

Parsing resumes or LinkedIn profiles into machine-readable formats is often a manual, error-prone process. Most scraping tools either fail due to anti-bot protections or return unstructured HTML that's hard to work with.

This workflow solves that by:

• Using Bright Data's Web Unlocker for reliable, CAPTCHA-free LinkedIn scraping

• Extracting clean text and structured profile data via Google Gemini LLM

• Automatically generating a standards-compliant JSON Resume and Skills

• Sending the resume to webhooks or storing it for downstream usage

What this workflow does

• Accepts LinkedIn Profile URL and required metadata (Bright Data zone, webhook)

• Scrapes LinkedIn profile using Bright Data Web Unlocker

• Extracts clean content and skills using Google Gemini LLM

• Builds a JSON-formatted resume following the JSON resume schema

• Sends the JSON resume via Webhook Notification

• Persists the output by saving the file to disk

Setup

• Sign up at Bright Data.
• Navigate to Proxies & Scraping and create a new Web Unlocker zone by selecting Web Unlocker API under Scraping Solutions.
• In n8n, configure the Header Auth account under Credentials (Generic Auth Type: Header Authentication).

The Value field should be set with the Bearer XXXXXXXXXXXXXX. The XXXXXXXXXXXXXX should be replaced by the Web Unlocker Token.

• In n8n, configure the Google Gemini(PaLM) Api account with the Google Gemini API key (or access through Vertex AI or proxy).
• Update the Set URL and Bright Data Zone node with the LinkedIn profile, Bright Data Zone and the Webhook notification URL. For testing purposes, you can obtain a webhook url using https://webhook.site/
